As we go through the Daylily databases (ATP's and AHS's), it's easy to be left wondering how the color REALLY looks. Although I can't give a perfect picture, I CAN put some of the blooms side by side for a comparison so that anyone looking for a 'redder' red or a 'blacker' red can have some point of reference.
This picture is taken around 6:30pm after a rainy, yucky day (~75 degrees) and some of them held up better than others, so this comparison also tests colorfastness and substance after rain and wind.
Some of my reds (click on pic to see them all):
Left to right:
Ruby Spider, Tom Wise, Night Embers, Palace Guard, St. Elmo's Fire, Kent's Favorite Two, Black Plush
I will try to post future comparisons after hot, sunny days, etc.
Feel free to post your own picture comparisons of flowers to this thread if you want. Please just make sure that the blooms are side-by-side in the same picture and similarly-colored so that we get a true comparison of how one's color compares to another's.
